A gentle ping on this SSE fix.

The SSE specification requires handler-entry hstatus.SPV to reflect the
interrupted virtualization state. The current code handles the
virtualized case, but can leave SPV stale when host execution is
interrupted.

This is also needed by the Linux PMU-SSE work to attribute host and
guest samples correctly. The patch only completes the existing
injection semantics and does not change the SSE ABI.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Zhanpeng
